This morning I was shocked to read that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer was robbed last week in Nevis!! Nevis is my ancestral home. I truly hope that this incident does not cast a negative light on this beautiful island. Justice Breyer was on the island at his vacation home with his wife and two other guests when he was robbed by a male assailant.
The robber got away with $1,000 and then fled. The assailant’s weapon of choice…a machete (no one was hurt)! You know you’re in the Caribbean when you get robbed by machete.
As mentioned, no one was hurt in the incident and local authorities are working with the FBI to further investigate the situation. At this time, there is “a known person of interest according to Commissioner C.G. Walwyn of the Nevis Police force. “Our American-trained crime scene investigators and the members of our Criminal Investigators (unit) are working closely with the FBI on this case”. At the time of this article, no arrests have been made.
Justice Breyer has issued no comment on the case.
